I'm truly overjoyed! The service at this hotel is absolutely fantastic, and the accommodation is exceptionally comfortable! What's more, every single staff member is so warm and considerate, making me feel incredibly cared for. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me such an unforgettable and wonderful stay experience! The food here is not only incredibly affordable but also features far superior ingredients compared to what I've had in the city. What's more, the shisha is a steal at just $5.08, allowing you to savor it by the poolside in utter relaxation.
On Maldives we come for the third time, the Royal Island Resort was the first time and remained very satisfied! The transfer to the island was a hydroplane and a boat (thank you for the hotel that didn't have to wait until lunch of the inner flight). Back by boat and plane by internal flight. The transfer backward was free, for which also a separate thank you. We arrived at the hotel at 8 a.m., we were settled immediately. We took the Villa sunset, and our house was super successful - far from the pier (in those closer to the pier - it is not very convenient to swim and there is no reef) and close to the beautiful reef.
”The food is very tasty and a great variety, every day for lunch and dinner there were necessarily seafood dishes, fruits, crazy desserts, ice cream, all in abundance.
”The staff is friendly, our waiter at the restaurant brought drinks by the moment we had already got the meals - come to the table, and the water is already poured into glasses and a teapot on the table. Host Mark also liked it very much, everything told, showed. The chief manager at Ali restaurant constantly approached asking how we were eating, whether everything likes.
- Cleaning every day , replacing towels every day, including beaches.
We have a lot of where we have visited and what have seen, and in our opinion it is a very worthy resort, with excellent price/quality ratio - recommended !!!
I left the hotel today and am writing this from a fresh perspective.
I'll say the main thing right away: the hotel is in a great location; fresh salty air wafts through the open window in the mornings and evenings.
The hotel is right on the pier where all the boats are—it's beautiful. In the evening, sharks come swimming. You can feed them fish.
Inside: the rooms are large, new, and fully equipped. They clean every day, and there's plenty of drinking water. Beach towels are plentiful. In the midday heat, you can linger in the shade of the trees on the shore near your room. Sun loungers, umbrellas, and tables—everything is there. Snorkeling and SUPs are the best place for it. This hotel is right there.
The staff: kind, helpful, and empathetic.
The house reef is great: dolphins, turtles, manta rays, schools of fish. I saw it all myself.
Bikini Beach is a 5-minute walk along the shore. You can walk along the streets – 10 minutes.
The breakfasts were nutritious.
They helped organize all the boat excursions and fishing trips. They were very supportive and attentive.
Adam is the manager. Always ready to talk and help.
A special shout out to Yusuf 🤍 Without him, my understanding of the island and local life would have been limited. He did everything he could every day to ensure I enjoyed myself. It was an incredible experience.
I'll definitely be back. And to this hotel.
There are hotels on the island closer to Bikini Beach, but you won't hear the surf or see the sunrise there because of their location. And the hotels are located on the streets – it's stuffy.
If you're choosing where to stay, choose this hotel. I recommend it!
The hotel is brand new, you can still smell the fresh plaster! 😀 All the furniture, bedding, towels, and sanitary ware are new.
The first room we got was too small for two people. The next day, we asked if we could switch to a different room. The staff were very accommodating and gave us an amazing room, at no extra charge, in another building of the HAWKS chain. There are three hotels in the chain: NEST, WINGS, and WRANS.
After three nights, they offered us a free upgrade to an improved room with a balcony and ocean view.
All three hotels provide slippers, bathrobes, and a wide range of personal hygiene products, even natural loofahs. The bedding and towels are spotless white. Beach towels, masks, snorkels, and fins are all provided for free upon request.
The buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner were just okay. For a hotel of this caliber, it could have been much better. No one starved, of course.
You can also order from the à la carte menu. It's tastier and sometimes even cheaper. Dinner itself costs $15.
The staff are very responsive and always resolve any issues. Special thanks to Ali and Hassan. Hassan is a waiter and a photographer all in one!
I'd recommend the hotel owner replace the sun loungers on the beach with more comfortable ones, and definitely improve the food.
I recommend this hotel and might even return. Oh, I forgot to mention, the hotel offers welcome compliments. Just ask, as they don't really advertise them.
Recommend Benjarong Thai restaurant. I am very satisfied. It is very cost-effective to buy 3 meals. Children who are 11 years old also eat and stay for free. The hotel service is very good, suitable for those who like Southeast Asian food. Recommended manta season I can't see it without checking. Also, prepare your own diving mask, camera, and swimsuit. Ocean or water rooms are recommended. The beach room in the sea didn't go out pretty. Saw a baby turtle in place of the over water house. I didn't see the little shark. It's good for novices. One dissatisfaction is that Ctrip's booking of seaplane tickets is too expensive, which is worse than other travel agency packages. Ctrip is more expensive and did not send items. You can compare prices with other travel agencies.
We’ve travelled to many places around the world and stayed in countless hotels and resorts — some even more expensive than this — but Vakkaru is truly the BEST experience we’ve ever had.
Baa Atoll is already one of the world’s most pristine ecological reserves, and the resort’s blue holes and sandbanks are simply addictive. We could visit them several times a day and still never get enough. At any moment, you’ll find different kinds of fish swimming freely around you.
Beyond the beauty and the facilities, what truly makes Vakkaru unforgettable is the people.
Our butler Myat, the sommelier, and our roomboy Mohamond all went above and beyond, offering the warmest, most thoughtful care throughout our stay. Their kindness made all the difference.
It’s really hard for us to leave.
We will definitely be back — and without a doubt, we’ll choose Vakkaru again.
Highly recommended! All the hotel's facilities are new, the beach is A-grade, the snorkeling is A-grade, and the service is top-notch. All the restaurants on the island are very delicious. It is recommended to include breakfast and dinner because the dishes are so large. When we were on the island, the only Chinese-speaking housekeeper was on vacation. Our housekeeper was Nathu, a very beautiful, cute and capable girl, and all the waiters on the island worked hard to interact with us in Chinese, which was a good experience. There is a professional snorkeling instructor who is very enthusiastic about explaining which types of fish can be seen in which areas. We stayed for 5 nights and snorkeled 3 times. We saw babyshake, rays, swordfish and many colorful small fish. . It is recommended to participate in the sunset fishing activity. I caught a lot of fish in 2 hours and the experience was great.
This is a resort worth experiencing. Compared with islands of the same quality, the price of Avani is obviously much cheaper and the price-performance ratio is very high. highly recommended!
The scenery didn't have to be said, but from the evening, there were a lot of huge cockroaches indoors and outdoors. It was very affecting the experience. On the day of the departure, the hotel made a mistake in my trip, which caused me to wake up at 5:30 in the morning and told me that I had to leave the store after 20 minutes. They put the notice of leaving the store at an inconspicuous place at the door. I didn't see the information that I personally think is important. It is best to ensure that I can do it if I can do it. My best day experience will not be destroyed.

AAnonymous UserI’ve been fortunate to travel to many islands in the Maldives, but Baa Sand Hotel on Kudarikilu completely stole my heart. It’s not your typical luxury resort—it’s better. It’s real, personal, and full of soul. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed like an old friend. The staff—Ali, Hasan, and everyone at the hotel—have a way of making you feel seen and cared for without being overbearing. Every request was met with a smile and genuine warmth. Traveling solo, I usually stay low-key, but here, I found myself chatting with locals, joining a sunset fishing trip, and even hanging out with the parrots at reception (yes, they’re adorable!). The room was spacious, spotless, and surprisingly well-equipped—great water pressure, big comfy bed, strong Wi-Fi, and daily housekeeping that rivals big-name resorts. I also loved the rooftop space and the peaceful garden vibe around the pool. The island itself is small and quiet, with a couple of local shops for snacks and essentials, and a calm beach just a few minutes’ walk away. I swam with manta rays on a half-day trip organised by the hotel and watched baby turtles hatch right on the sand. It felt like a dream. But honestly? What makes this place special isn’t just the scenery—it’s the people. The Baa Sand team delivers something you don’t often find anymore: hospitality with heart. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic Maldivian escape with genuine care and comfort, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m bringing my friends

This is my second time coming to Dhigufaru Resort Island. It was always lovely to come here. Our butler, Afa always prepared the best for us. The first time we came, on my partner’s birthday and they prepared us the complimentary cake and even help to figure out our transfer problem. The second time we came, there was a little miscommunication regarding our booking and our room choices were fullbook, but she managed for us so we still can get our preferences room based on our booking and evenmore better. The manta feeding was fun as well, so excited to see the manta & shark from very close to the beachline. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner are also good with various options. The room was clean and the amnities were completed. I love the smell of the lotion the most. A good place to creating memories. Definitely will come back again 💛
NNonthadej🌴 Review: Dreamland Maldives (Stayed July 7–11, 2025) 🌴 Just returned from an amazing 4-night stay at Dreamland Maldives, and overall we were really impressed — especially if you love marine life and peaceful surroundings. 🐠 Snorkeling & Excursions – Absolutely worth it! The house reef around the island is full of life. We saw nurse sharks, sea cucumbers, and even sea turtles while snorkeling close to shore. Our favorite excursions were: • A trip to Hanifaru Bay to watch the majestic manta rays. • A nurse shark tour around the Dreamland reef — exciting and well organized. 🍴 Food – Delicious and better than expected We chose the Full Board package (3 meals per day), and the buffet meals were consistently good. Each day offered a variety of beef, pork, chicken, and fish dishes, along with rotating international options. We were pleasantly surprised to find Thai dishes occasionally included — such as Tom Yum Chicken Soup and Thai Fish Cakes (Tod Mun Pla) — both authentic and flavorful. 💧 Note – Full Board doesn’t include water Still water is not included in Full Board. • A 1.5L bottle costs around $3.50 USD, which adds up over several days. • If you prefer not to worry about extra drink charges, we recommend going for the All-Inclusive package instead. 🌧️ Weather Tip – Be cautious in July On our departure day, a storm delayed our seaplane, and we missed our international flight. If traveling in July (monsoon season), plan extra buffer time or stay a night near the airport before your outbound flight. Dreamland offers a relaxing and nature-filled getaway with great snorkeling and tasty food. We’ll gladly return — but next time, with All-Inclusive and flexible travel plans during the rainy season!
Communication with booking department was bad, it was hard to get information about transfers, they didn't answer half of my messages. The boat to the island was delayed for more than 1 hour but I wasn't informed about it. Timing of the speedboat is not the best as it's public transport mainly used by locals, the boat departs from the island about 7.30 am. The staff at the reception are friendly and trying to help but sometimes there are some misunderstandings. Check in was fast and smooth but no information was given at all. Everything is in another building - Swarn. I didn't feel very safe walking around after sunset as this building is in the middle of nowhere.. The island is beautiful but full of construction. The bathroom is tiny and there is absolutely no place to put wet towels and swimsuits. The hotel building is next to a very noisy construction, there were some works in the building itself. I was given a room with the sea view which is nice but also opposite the elevator which produces loud sounds every time someone presses any button on any floor. When it was windy some food waste was in the water and on the beach (
BBIN HAOODAHّ I really enjoyed my stay at the resort! Everything was perfect — the hospitality, the facilities, and the relaxing atmosphere. Thank you for a great experience.
GGuest UserUnforgettable experience! Beautiful island, fortunately not rebuilt for tourists but with the respect of their Maldivian culture. Incredible nature and all the people that work there are all very kind and welcoming. we were truly happy.Tthe only small flaw is that the activities and extras are really expensive and in a hotel like this it is not proportionate. We could have done many excursions and booked every day massages etc but with such high prices we limited ourselves to two. the risk is to lose opportunities. so this is my only advice. Thanks anyway for this beautiful holiday! See you soon
JJasur MavlyanovKiha Beach was undoubtedly one of the most incredible places I've ever had the pleasure of staying at. I cherished every single moment there. The staff was phenomenal, always on hand to assist with anything we needed, and the views from the balcony were breathtaking. However, the highlight was undoubtedly the food: a daily feast of delectable dishes, prepared and served by an exceptional team of chefs and waitstaff. I'm thrilled we decided on Kiha Beach for our stay. I'm eagerly looking forward to returning soon, especially for the Manta Rays season!
